It's just their version of artifacts or relics. There are orbs pretty much all the way to the end (but not continuous, by any means).

That's good to know. I guess I'm too used to the old Star Trek TNG where stuff like this would seem strange and out of place.

I recommend that you just relax and try to enjoy it.

That's the plan. I've enjoyed the few episdoes I caught in the past. When I was up at LSU I would occasionally catch an episode here and there late at night. While I didn't understand what was going on with the whole arc, the episode by itself was engaging enough to keep my interest.

Avery Brooks is a throwback - he is polarizing - I'm a big fan (all the way back to Spenser for Hire) of his style, but I understand, like Shatner, he can be a polarizing figure - his voice inflection and gestures can come across as "over the top" in his effort to demonstrate emotion - in the final balance - he is more Kirk than Picard, and, in some ways, better for the job then either of those captains would have been.

This is why I love these kinds of threads. I'm a fan of Star Trek, but not a huge fan. Yet I find stuff like this endlessly fascinating.
